This was a really fine event. The presentation for the Raspberry pie was most applicable to my current needs - I am looking for something simple that will run FLDIGI other than a laptop. Joe shared his experience with configuring the pie to do just what I need.
The other half dealt with microcontrollers from the chips to the various Arduinos'. Several projects were presented. I personally used several Arduinos' for projects that ranged from data loggers for temp/humidity and hamster running to Christmas light sequencing. In all cases the components are a fantastic buy on-line especially compared to what comparable equipment cost just a few years ago.
